It is time for another reunion, so mark your calendars now and make plans to be there.   You will meet the friendliest people and have the time of your life.  Bring your family, genealogy, old photos, documents, stories, cameras and plenty of film.

Thursday, April 29, 8:30 A. M. - Cemetery & Old Home Tour.   We will meet in Belgreen at C. J.'s Grocery at Highways 24 & 187.  You will need to bring a sack lunch and beverage.  Please be there, signed in and ready to leave by 9:00 A. M.

Friday, April 30, 9:00 A. M. - Genealogy Research Day.  We will meet at the Rustic Youth Camp to exchange information.  After lunch we will have a group going to the newly opened Franklin County Archives.  You will need to bring a sack lunch and beverage on this day also.

Saturday, May 1, 9:00 A.
